Japanese Walt Disney Treasures DVD
Hey, I'm a new member here so I don't know how will y'all react to this.
Basically I was browsing on Wikipedia and saw a page about one of my favorite DVD series, the Walt Disney Treasures sets, but what caught my attention was the fact that one part of the page said that there 5 exclusive DVD releases in Japan, alongside some other releases that were also released in Europe, that caught my attention since I definitely didn't know that the series had some sort of release in Japan, and after a lenghty search I realized that they were indeed released there, tho with a difference, instead of coming in big DVD cases covered in tin cases, they come in sleeves with a plastic holder, here are the releases (highlighted releases were only released in USA and Japan):

If it anything like the US releases, as the line went on the edition numbers were constantly slashed, I believe the last few waves have the shortest run if I remember correctly.
I wish Disney would have done a Blu/4K or digital release of these

It's possible that the Japanese Donald Vol. 3 had a higher production run than the US one, while their Vol. 4 had as small a run as the US one, maybe that's why the former is a lot cheaper in Japan?
I was buying them as they were coming out, but several years back I sold them all, I couldn't resist the crazy prices on DD Vol. 3 and 4 and was worried that a potential Blu-ray release (which hasn't happened at this point) would make the prices crash, so I cashed out. ![Smilie](/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Same, cultshock, I had all the Chronological Donalds, sold those and the Annette one. Still have On the Frontlines somewhere, which was my favorite one.
